Piccirilli’s writing is terse and brutal at times. He understands the psyche of the habitual criminal and has obviously spent a good deal of time researching the various ways criminals go at their business. I would have liked to see more of the crime in action in this one, more of the various gangs going about their scores, but there was a lot of action.
The dialogue, between the characters and the monologue inside Chase’s head, are all well done. A lot of the twists and turns kept me on my toes, wondering what was going to happen next and how Chase was going to get out of it.
Those of you, like me, who have been waiting for the big payoff between Chase and Jonah are going to need to be patient for a little longer, it seems. But there’s enough action between the two in this one to really whet the appetite. Can’t wait till the third book comes out next year.
